Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 98: The next phase

( ChaosBringer’s POV )

ChaosBringer a.k.a Shawn Pollok, was the leader of the Uprising.

His organization had now recruited over 70% of the Sector E residents and it had only been smooth sailing until this point for him with many of his group members being promoted to sector D after following his advice.

However, it was at this stage that the first signs of trouble started to emerge as more and more players tried to migrate towards big cities from their spawn villages in search for better leveling grounds and skill development opportunities.

Unfortunately, those amongst them who had previously committed the crime of manslaughter and gathered infamy were arrested at the gates and their gaming character was then thrown into a virtual prison and forcefully logged out.

Once inside the prison, they lost their privilege to log into the game, as every time they tried to do so, they were met with the notification that their character had been locked and that the cooldown period of their sentence was roughly 1-6 months.

This was an unprecedented event, as those who had only killed other players were given a more lenient sentence of 3-7 weeks, however, those that had killed NPC were given a more severe sentence of 20-40 weeks.

The harshest sentence was met out to a player who had slaughtered an NPC family of four and even killed two players, as his character ID was locked for a total of two years, effectively ending his gaming career and any hopes of future promotions.

Questions started to raise, chaos started to brew and once word about this event began to spread, the other criminals who were planning to head towards cities changed their plans and decided to avoid the authorities at all costs.

” YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE! YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE WITH YOUR ADVISE.

I HOPE YOU DIE A DOG’S DEATH CHAOSBRINGER.

I PROMISE I WILL FIND YOU IN SECTOR D AND BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!”

These were the kinds of messages that began popping up in the internal chat of the Uprising group over the last two days and members began to quit the group by the hundreds everyday.

Those that remained, demanded that ChaosBringer give them an explanation, a reasonable justification for this turn of events, however, for every single day that ChaosBringer remained silent, their patience wore thin.

” So how long do you plan to stay at the Royal Capital?” Asked the immigration officer to Shawn.

” Not too long, I have a relative living in the city to whom I have to deliver something very important.

I hope to be out in two to three days, but if he insists on me staying, I might stay for a week” Shawn replied as the immigration officer stamped his document and granted him two weeks worth of entry to the royal capital.

“That will be 50 bronze coins-” he said as Shawn paid him up and received his immigration papers.

” Good day-” he said, as he walked past the immigration officer and into the royal capital, feeling his heart fill with Glee.

While his dumb followers suffered from listening to his advice, he himself maintained a spotless record and entered the most important city in the entire empire without a hitch!

The reason behind why he did not reply to his followers on the internal group chat for the last two days was because he knew that actions always spoke louder than words.

Rather than arguing with them using fancy words, Shawn wanted to crush their doubts by showing them hard proof, as once inside the royal capital Stronghaven, he used the game’s capture image feature to start capturing images at some of the most recognisable places in the capital city.

He took an image outside the Royal library, at the gates of the Royal palace, in front of the large flea markets and most importantly in the capital house of Viscount Feynman, who was one of the hidden noble characters of the game who wished to bring down the current Emperor.

Shawn had received a system mission to recruit 10,000 members to his organization and since Shawn was successful in completing this mission, he was given the reward of meeting Viscount Feynman who was ready to become his hidden backer.

” The previous Emperor, he married my Grand Aunt…

The Feynman house was very happy at that time, we hoped that with the political marriage being a success, our small house would evolve into becoming a duchy, however, the previous Emperor never even spared us a second thought!

We then hoped that his son, the current Emperor would favor his maternal house, however, even he turned out to be the same indifferent ruler like his father was.

*SPIT*

No more…..

I will wait for their favor no more.

If this emperor does not favor us, then his rule must come to an end!” Viscount Feynman said as he stared at Shawn with a fervent passion burning in his eyes.

” Don’t worry about it….. If you give me the money and the resources I ask you for, I will end the reign of this Emperor within five years!

So tell me… just how much are you willing to commit?” Shawn said confidently, as he promised to end the reign of the current Emperor, as long as Feynman could give him the money and support he needed.

” Show me results, and I shall give you everything I own!

For now, follow butler Mike to the underground treasury, he will give you a starting capital to work with” Feynman said as Shawn followed the butler to the underground treasury vault, where the Feynman family had prepared over 500,000 gold coins for him to use.

” HAHAHA….I can make do with this….” Shawn said as he proceeded to click the last and final selfie of his collection in front of the heaps and heaps of gold, before posting them all on the internal group.

He was smart, he showed his shoulder with the symbol of an upward pointing finger in every photo, but never revealed his face to maintain his anonymity, as he took the internal group chat by storm.

[ Over the last few days, some of our organization members have left the group and called me a fraud.

It is true that the authorities won’t let us enter the city, but there are always more routes to enter the city than just the legal road.

The traditional way is never going to allow bottom feeding players like us to reach the top, however, if you believe in me and follow my path then not just the first promotion, we will surely rise from sector E all the way to sector S, by relying on nothing but our wits and strength.

Don’t mourn the loss of those that left, they are fools who don’t know what’s best for them, instead rejoice that we have gotten rid of the doubters that could compromise our mission before the mission ever started.

The heaps of gold that you see behind me are not for me. They are for you-

Consider them as reward money for completing missions issued in this internal group as I intend to reward anyone who finds a way around the legal system heavily with gold.

•For every unique entry way found into a major city. I will reward the finder of the new path with 1000 gold coins.

•For every unique route found to smuggle goods in and out of a city, I will grant 10,000 gold.

•Everyday, I will issue anywhere from one to five daily missions with upto 500 gold coins to claim as reward for completing them, revolutionizing this group as an unofficial guild that works for the benefit of each other.

For those who don’t believe in me and wish to play this game the traditional way, please feel free to go ahead and quit.

However, to my brother’s and sisters who have faith.

I will never ask you to do something that I am not following myself and as you can see from my wealth and my influence, I’m a free man walking in the royal capital.

My path is not risk free, but it gives bottom feeders like us a chance to reach the heavens.

The choice is yours…. ]

Writing an extremely manipulative message with proof, Shawn threw his internal group chat into chaos.

He knew that over 50% of his group members might quit after today, however, those that remained would become his capable rebels that would not hesitate to commit any form of crime that he asked them to.
